Final-year Computer Engineering student
Backend & AI Systems
I build backend systems and AI-enabled applications, with a focus on APIs, data, and practical LLM/NLP integration.
Selected work
A travel application with a conversational interface for hotel and flight search, structured results, and a backend reservation flow.
External travel API calls stay behind the Spring Boot backend, which returns normalized responses to the interface.
A platform for turning unstructured source material into a knowledge graph through extraction, validation, and review.
Schema-defined candidates are checked before being committed to the graph. Low-confidence results go through human review.
Practical experience
Software Engineering Intern
Contributed to TripMate's Spring Boot backend, TourVisio service integration, and administrative features. Coordinated technical planning and Scrum work for the Sanifest team.
Software Engineering Intern
Developed a Node.js and TypeScript API for template-driven AI requests, integrating Gemini and OpenAI. Used Prisma and PostgreSQL to store prompt templates and added request validation and model selection checks.
A little about me
I'm Alperen, a final-year Computer Engineering student at Akdeniz University focused on backend engineering and AI systems.
I enjoy building maintainable applications where APIs, data, and language models work together.
